I don't own them I'm afraid, but this might help:

Cant beat free!

Nice score

Great little electret microphones I must say!

Got one for doing conference calls, and it performs better than it has any right to

Sorry, those NW800 mics

I have a hunch they'll take Hakko T12 tips

Only problem is that it'll extent the tip to a pretty disgusting length

Buy a firearm with the money you've saved!

What could go wrong?

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

I'm Shure he does

(sorry)

<:hms:311152554618912768>

Yeah, pulled the trigger on the TS100 as well <:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

I'm curious to see how it stacks up

<:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

Oh wow, $13?

I'd be impressed if they spontaniously combust to be honest

<:pepewot:327934404234313739>

AC output?

Rather surprising

Hrmm

The phone adapter might create a lot of switching noise which might need some hefty filtering to clean out

Maybe a cheapo wall wart with an AC output?

A voltage multiplier is fairly straightforward to make, and they're nice in that they don't create super high frequency noise

feelsbadman

Quite impressive actually!

I think it's halfwave rectifying by the looks of it

Hrmm

Might be a voltage doubler from the look of the diodes?

And TIP122 with the zener as a reference for a cheapo linreg maybe

Too tired to trace that out

THICC traces save lives

Prolly was just cheap to make with through-hole parts

It trickles a bias into the balanced audio lines to power the mic electronics

Which is decoupled from the output audio

Friend let me listen to the SE535s today

Good lord, they were nice

Are there any chi-fi alternatives to them that give a similar sound?

Cheers!

Yeah, they were nice, but not something I'd be able to splurge on <:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

And thanks for the link

<:pepewot:327934404234313739>

Need to get one of those; that sounds quite handy

Neat!

If I may ask, do you guys have any offhand IEM recommendations?

Isolation is a priority, and maybe neutral sound

Hrmm

Maybe $150-$200 tops?

I'm open to a budget suprise though

Gotcha!

I had an HF5 actually

Loved those

They got lost <:hms:311152554618912768>

Yeah, got them cheap on sale at one point

Interesting

Thanks a bunch!

Hrmmm

There's these neato chinese condenser capsules floating around on ebay at the moment

I wonder if they're any good?

Eh, only one way to find out

Might make a fun project

Meme screwdriver set arrived!

Quite impressed with it so far

Yup

Good ol' phantom power

You could probably find a reasonable drop-in AC adapter at a thrift store

And it'll be fairly easy to pick one up with UL or CSA approval to boot

Some of the older Pentax cameras are worth a peek if you're looking at used cameras

Their legacy lens support is extraordinary

Awesome!

It's the lens that has the biggest impact admittedly

<:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

A terrifying thought!

Ooo, that's pretty

Random question if I may

Any recommendations for cheapo neutral IEMs that won't be a huge loss if misplaced?

Say, <$35?

TS100 arrived, and I've been playing with it

I'm absolutely in love with the thing

It's got a few flaws; it doesn't fit typical soldering iron stands well, the DC Jack in the back can be a little finnicky, and the body gets a little warm after extended use

Nevertheless, the circuit design and layout are so nice that I can't help but love it

No, I have not! @spaqin

Worth doing?

No worries!

Cheers!

On aside: price/performance wise, I suspect the $30 Hakko T12 compatible irons are a better buy

Especially since they will fit standard soldering iron stands

But the thing is so nifty that I can't help but feel it was worth every penny

Vocaloid trash?

More like vocaloid treasure!
